You could make All-Star Superman work on the big screen, the biggest things to omit would be the Jimmy Olsen/Doomsday stuff and the League of Supermen issue.
Everything else would just need to lead into one another (like Luthor trigger the bizarro world to appear in order to break out of jail, leading into the final chapter). Some things would have to be trimmed down, like all those moments in #10, and the movie public would just have to accept that in a world with Superman, there might be somone like Quintum able to be right next to the sun, but it's no worse than say the Harry Potter universe. The viewer has to accept they are watching a movie about a comic hero and adjust their sensibilities; they did the same thing when Will Smith punches an alien and Randy Quaid saves the world.
When I first read All-Star Superman I wasn't sure whether the league of Supermen were actual mainstream DC characters. And I think Samson and the other one could work on the big screen, they'd fill an action quota I'm sure a studio would want.
And with that, go ahead and start a new thread. And pick a title that has nothing to do with 3D. You can do it. I believe in you.

The Walking Dead, good opening episode, although I really hope
they don't try to Shaun of the Dead the zombies, and make them have them remember some traits of humanity. The little girl zombie picking up the teddy bear and the zombie wife knowing how to turn the door knob (in the comics I don't think they could do that, it was more just brute force against a wall; you have the scientist in later issues explain how the herd mentality works when they brush against a door.
It kind of seems to follow Kirkman's general pacing of the series too, to an extent; stuff happens and you're really looking forward to it, and then it just drags on. A vicious cycle.
Seriously though, Walking Dead premiered with 5.3 million viewers, the biggest cable premiere of the year, and the best ratings AMC's ever had. I can only imagine Kirkman's going to get a huge pile of coin out of it.

exactly.

I like that it's slightly different then the book but close enough to share the same name and not fuck it up.
So...uhh...use it?
